Catalyst is a synthesizer that generates unique hybrid waveforms by combining two oscillators through half wave rectification, resulting in distinct and dynamic wave shapes. The instrument emphasizes creating engaging and expressive sounds, with each control carefully designed to provide meaningful adjustments. This approach allows users to explore uncommon sonic textures while maintaining intuitive control over the synthesis process.

The synth provides a comprehensive manual to help users understand its underlying concepts, supporting a smooth learning curve despite its innovative design. Additionally, Catalyst comes equipped with 64 presets, offering a wide variety of starting points for sound design and inspiring creative experimentation. Its distinctive character has earned recognition in the music production community for delivering fresh and compelling tones.

A notable update improved the modulation depth between the envelope and filter cutoff, enhancing the instrument's expressive capabilities. The sound demo showcases Catalyst’s power by using only the synth itself with minimal processing, demonstrating its ability to produce rich and complex sounds without relying on external effects. This makes Catalyst a strong choice for producers seeking unique sonic palettes.
